You Think You’re Having A Bad Day…How About This Shit…

No matter how horrible you think you’re life is at least you can live in comfort knowing that you’re not this girl:

She suffers from an extremely rare skin disorder called Aquagenic Urticaria – so unusual that only a handful of cases are documented worldwide.

When Ashleigh gets wet her body explodes in sore, itchy red lumps that take about two hours to ease.

She has to wash. But showering is a painful experience and she can only do it for a minute at a time.
…

Most of us take showering for granted but for Ashleigh it’s a painful endurance that often reduces her to tears.”Although my rash is unsightly, and often looks like I’m diseased, the feeling is so much worse than it looks,” she said.

“I can’t go anywhere for about two hours afterwards because it’s so severe.

Allergic to water? Seriously? That fucking sucks. Apparently her allergy is so bad that when she burst into tears after finding out about her allergy, her tears caused a rash. Allergic to your own tears? That means she can’t even watch a sad movie.
